Hadn't planned on stopping at Wako, so the 55-300mm was on my camera. This gator was pretty close to the boardwalk and couldn't get back far enough to get all of her. Three shots handheld.

Not sure what this is. At first I thought it was a female Grackle, but I think the colors are wrong. Any clues?

Ahhhh.... the elusive female Grackle. "Snap" and "Pop" may have come along as well. :rolleyes-new:

That dog was having a grand ole time chasing the car. The car bumped him once and he ran the other way briefly and then started the chase all over again.
